Customer Ratings & Reviews

This hard drive has excellent speed via usb 3.0 interface. I use it as an archive drive. It scares me a little storing so much information on one drive so Ill soon be buying another to duplicate all of my files in the event of failure. So far, so great!!!!

This hard drive backbup my 4 other small hard drive file, photo, video and music files.

The Xbox one needed more room for games this has been a great addition. Does what we need it to do

An excellent value for this much money - I purchased 8 of them, shucked the covers off of them to get the bare drives out and all 8 drives are now in a RAID-6 in my Dell PowerEdge R515 server. All are Western Digital white label EMAZ drives.

I bought this drive on sale (I believe it was a "Deal of the Day"), and have been very pleased with it. The only thing you have to watch for is when you don't access it for a few minutes, it seems to "shut off" and takes a few seconds to spin back up.

I assigned 5 stars for the internal drive, an 8TB 5400 RPM WD Red as of Q2-Q3 2017. The enclosure has no active ventilation and power supply is very basic. That is adequate for the 5400 RPM drive, however. Opening the case destroys the tabs for the most part, so tinkerers be aware.

I use for backup my stuff, the only point it's the transfer speed but for the price Great Product

When I want a backup drive that will not die out, I select Western Digital. Reds are always good.

Haven't had it long but it works for now so we will see how it goes...

Great product! I've used this previously and it works as expected.

I've purchased a few external HDs in the past, and most don't come with the necessary cables to hook up with a laptop or gaming system. I'm happy to report all the necessary cables come with this external hard drive, and I was able to quite easily link it to my Xbox

Using as time machine working good so far !!! This is my fifth hard drive from WD

Good large-capacity storage unit that allows for transport when necessary but not easily lost.

Western Digital is the brand you can trust for storage. It's not a blazing fast but adequate for my backup needs. The built-in backup and restore program is very easy to use and navigate.

I bought this for external storage for my PS4. The PS4 immediately recognized and formatted the drive. I have no issues with playing any of the games stored on the drive. It is just as fast as playing games directly on the PS4.

I always use Western Digital for all my Data Storage... This one delivers just like the others.. I bought it on sale for 140 plus tax on sale. I regret not buying another one because it went back up to 200 plus tax.. I would buy another and highly recommend this external HD!!!

love Western Digital products. get lots of storage for the money

I do have a tons of storage of movie and game. I bought many as this is cheap if you just want to use it as storage, it work fine for transfer, not any faster like an SSD but for the price, it is worth it. The transfer rate is like 100MB/s so not bad.

Great sale for a great fast drive. Wished it had Thunderbolt, but USB 3.0 is fast as well.

do note that you will need seperate power source, but 8tb is awesome though
